Abstract
In their rush to grow up, many young children may inadvertently engage in sporting activities that may not be physiologically appropriate for their developing bodies, and accidents, injuries, or other adverse consequences, including death, may result. To this end, this paper provides a review of the relevant and scholarly literature to identify physiologically appropriate sports activities for children, followed by a summary of the research in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"Children are at increased risk of heat injury because their compensatory mechanisms are much less efficient than those in adults. Children produce greater heat loads, are less efficient at transferring heat away from muscles, sweat less, and drink less. Heat injury appears in many forms. The mildest form is in reduced exercise tolerance; this can be manifest as just a feeling general feeling of being tired. Some of the more severe forms of heat injury are discussed below."

Abstract
This paper examines Abraham Maslow's theory of human development, which Maslow diagrammed as a hierarchy of needs. The paper provides a comprehensive description of this hierarchy, the base of which is formed by physiological needs, followed by social needs and culminating in self-actualization. The paper discusses the stages of early childhood development in relation to Maslow's hierarchy, and includes an overview of the developmental problems with abused children.

From the Paper
"Abraham Maslow's theory of human development suggests that basic needs are physiological and that the ultimate at the top of the pyramid model is self-actualization, which implies an unattached human being realizing its full potential and autonomy (Maslow). Maslow?s theory of human development involves moving from basic needs (food and shelter) to social needs (love and esteem) to the highest needs on his hierarchy, which lead to self-actualization. According to Maslow?s theory, humans have several types of needs: physiological, safety/order, social, esteem and self-actualization (Maslow). These needs are the basis of his human development theory."

"Adolescence is the developmental transition from childhood to adulthood. Although its beginning or end is not clearly marked in Western societies, adolescence lasts about a decade from age 11 or 12 until the late teens or early twenties. Adolescence carries many risks to healthy development, as well as opportunities for physical, cognitive, and psychosocial growth."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper analyzes the relationship between routine leisure activities and crime. It discusses the activities theory approach and attempts to explain the relationship between macro-level indicators of leisure activities and the rates of serious crime. It also discusses how the way people usually conduct their activities can indicate how likely they are to be victims of crime.
From the Paper
"All in all, it would seem that Messner and Blau (1979) satisfactorily proved their hypothesis. In doing so, they also validated the routine activities theory and Hawley's (1950) human ecology theory. It may also be noted that Cohen and Felson (1979) made a similar hypothesis, using the opportunities for crime aspect of the routine activity theory to predict that crime rates would become higher with greater dispersion of activities away from households and families."
"We can conclude from the above that there is compelling evidence to suggest that the incidence of crime increases in proportion to the amount of time that is spent away from the household."

Abstract
The United States is experiencing a fundamental shift in demographics as the percentage of elderly citizens continues to increase. More and more people will become residents of nursing homes, retirement communities, skilled nursing facilities and other alternative residential arrangements in the future. Much remains unclear about what the impact of this transition from a gainfully employed lifestyle to one without such outside activities might be on this segment of the population. To this end, this study seeks to determine the extent to which educational activities contribute to wellness in older adults in alternative care facilities such as nursing homes and retirement communities through a qualitative review of the scholarly and peer-reviewed literature.
Paper Outline:
Description of Study
Purpose and Potential Benefits
Background and Overview
Nursing Homes, Retirement Communities and Quality of Care Issues
Effectiveness of Educational Activities on Wellness
Peer Counseling
Volunteer Training and Other Senior Roles
Distance Learning Applications in Nursing Homes and Other Assisted Living Facilities
Works Cited
From the Paper
"Peer counseling training is an important service that seniors can provide. For example, a newsletter from a long-term care facility posted in settings where senior citizens gather or reside, explaining various volunteer activities (such as entertaining, office work, transportation aide, cafeteria attendants, activity assistants, workshop assistants, boutique salespeople, gardeners, and friendly visitors) would be a useful method of recruiting volunteers (Ebersole & Hess 727). A number of such alternative care facilities have already implemented peer counseling training programs in which volunteers learn interviewing skills and develop their ability to deal with patients who are lonely, depressed, or dying."

K-12 School Sports Activities, 2008.
This paper discusses the problem of normativity and exclusion in K-12 school sports activities.

Abstract
This paper reports that, at a parent-teacher meeting, several issues relating to sports activities involving exclusion based on race, gender and disabilities were argued. The author points out that the perceptions of one side were that the school operates on a hierarchy of priorities, discriminating in favor of white males. The paper states that the assertion of the other group was that none of the issues apply since the only institutional goal is to prevent obesity. The author stresses that the relevant ethical principles for this situation were justice, benevolence and respect for persons. The paper highlights that the new standards such as physical activity and sports will become a self-management program in which every child should realize that the program is to be incorporated into their life plan.
Table of Contents:
Executive Summary

The Issues
Ethics and Ethical Principles
Recommendations
Conclusion
From the Paper
"According to Foucault, ethics is best defined as "a critical self-reflective practice". Based on this, the goals are to establish the ethical principles that will allow physical activity and sport to take place with the least amount of control. If the main objective is to fight obesity, then the activity should be paramount, flexible, and requires few formal rules or structure. Once the rationale for sport is clarified, then the emphasis on competition and all the disciplinary and regulatory practices that center on the idea of winning will be eliminated."

Middle Eastern Countries Curb Subversive Activities, 2007.
This paper looks at Middle Eastern countries that manage to curb subversive activities.
2,125 words (approx. 8.5 pages), 16 sources, MLA, $ 66.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that certain Middle East countries, specifically, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, and to a large degree Egypt and Saudi Arabia, as governments, as nations, seem to have few problems curbing fundamental subversion and the terrorist forces which have been otherwise successful in interrupting the economies and political processes of other governments in that area of the world. This silence causes the researcher to wonder, and to take a closer look at those countries where subversive activities are held in check, and where the people of those nations seem to inhabit the same rural and metropolitan spaces without leaving bombs in fruit stands or along the roadside aimed at killing whoever might come along. The writer discusses the difference between those countries where those kinds of destruction are not the order of the day, versus those nations where roadside bombs, destruction and the maiming of civilians are indeed very much the order of the day.

Jordan

From the Paper
"Still, unlike the UAE, Jordan has remained a self-sustaining economy, relying largely upon imports for its greater population needs, and subsistence for the small, largely impoverished family-farmers. Perhaps it is this simplicity in the economics of self-sustaining one's family on the land that has contributed to achieving a measure of stability in Jordan's political dynamics. It is difficult, one would suspect, to become overly interested in world politics, or even religious fanaticism, when one's focus must be that of sustaining small families in an agricultural environment where the land and product by which one sustains one's self and family is intricately intertwined with the forces of nature."

Abstract
This study develops a further understanding of the factors that operate to influence and/or prohibit fraudulent activities in corporations. The study represents an effort to further develop the current knowledge base that currently exists on strategies that are being used in efforts to prevent future occurrences of corporate fraud. The study provides an examination of reporting procedures that have been established in preventive efforts and the degree to which employees of corporations perceive such procedures as accessible.
From the Paper
"Current information suggests that occupational fraud losses for large corporations are estimated to now exceed $600 billion annually, an average of nearly $4500 per employee. Small businesses tend to be hurt worst by occupational fraud, at an average $127,500 per loss compared to the $97,000 average loss for larger companies. With the collapse of Enron and WorldCom and reports of other major corporations caught in similar acts, corporate fraud has increasingly been recognized as threatening trust in the economy, the integrity of the auditing profession and the state of business ethics within corporate America."

From the Paper
"Increasingly, colleges and universities in the United States are requiring undergraduate students to either own outright or at least have continuous access to a personal computer to take advantage of the enormous amount of educational resources available on the World Wide Web (Deollos & Messineo, 2005). Furthermore, many of these educational institutions are supplementing or even replacing their traditional delivery methods with Web-based applications, and these so-called "digital natives" (Prensky, 2001) of the 21st century will be well situated to take advantage of these innovations in educational technology. In this environment, though, many educators may be reluctant to invest heavily in one Web-based approach over another, given that dynamic nature of the educational software industry as well as the rate at which new hardware is being introduced to the market that might make their investments quickly obsolete or ineffective (Sheidet, 2003).
